lyrics

Living Ghost

It came on rather suddenly -
happened unexpectedly -
and it soaked through my skin - like summer rain.
I felt a rush of blood again.
Damn near almost felt alive -
when I brushed up against -a faint outline.

Spent ten years or maybe more -
in a downward drunken stare -
but sunken eyes may see - what sober won't.
Back out on the street again -
several blocks from that green door -
I ran smack dab into - a living ghost.

Maybe we both had too much -
but you always looked good high -
when the rain played off that frame -
as the sun still shined.
As the crowd grew thick that day -
damn near almost swept me away -
until I ran smack dab into - a living ghost.
